THE BAD BATCH (2016)

Two full hours is an excruciating term of time to spend immersed in this molasses-speed marathon of cryptic malaise.

PSYCHOPATHS (2017)

As crazy as the Manson Family was, even their rantings and ravings were more coherent than anything “Psychopaths” has to say.

IT COMES AT NIGHT (2017)

Nail-biting performances and pointed production design present an undeniably unsettling portrait of paranoia sending sane minds into madness.

STILL/BORN (2017)

“Still/Born” taps into maternal panic in the form of supernatural thrills with haunted house horror and psychological scares.

STEPHANIE (2017)

“Stephanie” is so insular and expands so gradually that interest in wherever it is going can’t help but evaporate along the way.

LIKE ME (2017)

I’m willing to say, “I don’t get it.” Because I’m not convinced “Like Me” has much worth getting in the first place.

M.F.A. (2017)

“M.F.A.” haunts the head with provocative questions while hitting hard in the heart with righteous rage.

TANK 432 (2015)

There is much more rhyme and reason to the hallucinatory hellishness of “Tank 432” than many critics give it credit for.

SPRING (2014)

“Spring” takes the relationship dissection drama of “500 Days of Summer” and changes the spike of heartbreaking humor to hit with body horror instead.

RUPTURE (2016)

By the time Renee uncovers the final revelation, attention spans are so worn down that you only care because it means the movie can finally wrap up.

TILT (2017)

“Tilt” ties a knot of haunting tension in your gut and holds it tightly in place through an inescapable sense of disturbing dread.

THE ENDLESS (2017)

If you connected with Benson and Moorhead’s "Resolution" and/or "Spring," then "The Endless" will stoke all the right fires.

WE ARE THE FLESH (2016 - Spanish)

I don’t know what people are seeing in supposed subtext. The man who made the movie doesn’t appear to know either.

A GIRL WALKS HOME ALONE AT NIGHT (2014 - Farsi)

“A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night” bathes in a pop art lethargy that makes the maudlin melancholy of “Only Lovers Left Alive” look blisteringly kinetic.

TERROR 5 (2016 - Spanish)

“Terror 5” has several bright spots of unflinching frights that work well in their sudden outbursts of brutality.

THE DARK TAPES (2017)

The script gets carried away with excitedly explaining everything down to details that aren’t pertinent to any premise.

TALES FROM THE HOOD (1995)

The scariest thing about “Tales from the Hood” is that despite being two decades removed from its 1995 theatrical debut, its subtext is as relevant now as it was then.

HERE ALONE (2016)

The slow smolder of its down-to-earth melodrama puts the film in an uphill battle where it underperforms against more energetic peers.

MEATBALL MACHINE KODOKU (2017 - Japanese)

Damn near indecipherable from beginning to end, the movie celebrates manic madness to the nth degree, precisely as intended.

PIG (2010)

“Pig” is a rambling exercise in senseless shock value whose predetermined purpose is to be a meaningless movie.

All of the references to Mexican mythology or Spanish scares are organically incorporated and universally accessible to all audiences.

DEEP WATER (2026)

Emerging as average fodder for some streaming service’s black hole of common content, it’s generous to score “Deep Water” down the middle at 50/100.

LEE CRONIN'S THE MUMMY (2026)

LEE CRONIN'S THE MUMMY (2026)
May 20, 2026

As a mummy movie, “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy” is decidedly meh.  As a demonic possession movie, “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy” is still mostly mediocre.

THEY WILL KILL YOU (2026)

THEY WILL KILL YOU (2026)
April 30, 2026

“They Will Kill You” plays less like a fully-fleshed feature and more like a demo reel for staging stunts and coming up with creative camera movements.

THE MORTUARY ASSISTANT (2026)

THE MORTUARY ASSISTANT (2026)
March 30, 2026

It’s a low-risk, low-reward course in Horror 101, as taught by a student aide at a community college instead of by a tenured professor at a prestigious university.
